Resolve Git Bash without relying on an 8.3 alias
On Windows systems where NTFS 8.3 name creation is disabled, C:\PROGRA~1 need not exist even when Git is installed at C:\Program Files\Git, so pnpm dev:app:win still fails before the bootstrap script starts. This repository already anticipates disabled 8.3 names in scripts/run-dev-win.sh:654-661; use a launcher that discovers Git Bash or otherwise preserves the quoted long path instead of hard-coding its short-name alias.

Resolve Git Bash instead of hard-coding one installation path.
When Git for Windows is installed per-user, under Program Files (x86), or without this 8.3 alias, C:/PROGRA~1/Git/bin/bash.exe does not exist. pnpm dev:app:win then fails before scripts/run-dev-win.sh starts. Resolve bash.exe from PATH or probe the supported Git installation locations.

Microsoft Windows where command PATHEXT searches .cmd .bat and cmd batch file CALL behavior invoking a batch file without CALL
💡 Result:
The Windows command processor (cmd.exe) and the where command use the PATHEXT environment variable to resolve commands when no file extension is provided [1][2][3]. PATHEXT and Command Resolution When you enter a command without an extension, Windows searches for the file in the current directory and then in each directory listed in the PATH environment variable [4][5]. For each directory, it checks for the base filename appended with each extension defined in PATHEXT, in the order they appear (e.g.,.COM,.EXE,.BAT,.CMD) [4][6]. The where command follows this same logic, effectively mimicking how the shell locates executables [1][2][7]. Batch File CALL Behavior The distinction between invoking a batch file with or without the CALL command is fundamental to how control flow is managed: Invoking with CALL: When you use CALL, the parent batch file suspends execution, and the child batch file runs [8][9]. Once the child batch file completes (or executes an EXIT /B), control returns to the parent batch file at the instruction immediately following the CALL [8][10][9]. This is the standard method for executing subroutines or nested scripts while maintaining the original execution context [9][11]. Invoking without CALL: If you invoke a batch file directly (e.g., myscript.bat) from within another batch file, the current batch file context is replaced by the new one [9]. The new batch file effectively chains execution [9]. Control does not return to the original script because the original script is terminated once the second script begins [12][9][11]. In summary, use CALL whenever you intend for the main script to continue executing after the secondary script finishes [12][11]. Failing to use CALL effectively causes the remaining commands in your parent script to be discarded [12][9].
